The Department of Health, in cooperation with the Department of Social and Health Services, the Adult Family Home Council, the Washington Health Care Association, LeadingAge Washington, the Community Residential Services Association, and the Washington Long Term Care Advisory Committee is proud to continue this immunization recognition program.

The Long-Term Care COVID-19 Immunization Champion Award program recognizes long term care facilities, nursing homes and agencies in Washington who obtain COVID-19 vaccination rates of at least 70% among their employees.

To participate, facilities report the COVID-19 vaccine completion status for health care personnel, which are defined as all paid employees and volunteers who are present in the facility location during the identified reporting cycle. Facilities will also select a barrier to health care personnel COVID-19 vaccination during registration to work to address throughout the upcoming recognition period.

At the end of the reporting cycle, the facility will confirm their COVID-19 vaccination success by providing a self-reported COVID-19 vaccination rate and reporting how they worked to address the selected barrier. The partnership will recognize facilities that achieve vaccination rates of at least 70% and report on the work done to address selected barriers.

Congratulations to the following Communities for being recognized in the Department of Health’s Fall LTC COVID-19 Immunization Champion Awards.  Thank you for making the commitment to keep your residents and staff safe during this time.
